Curtis was determined to produce a scientifically accurate journal, and so took care that artists used live speicmens for reference.  Each plate features a meticulously drawn specimen with an accompanying descriptive text for each (when available).  The first 70 volumes (1787-mid1800s) were printed using copper etching and then finished with watercolor added by hand.  Around the mid-1800s the images were completed by lithography with hand-coloring.   Commonly referred to as \u003cem\u003e Curtis' Botanical Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e, this prolific periodical was first published in 1787 and is still in publication today by the Kew Gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trillium Rare Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43765545926730,"sku":"curtis1154","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7960\/7882\/files\/curtis1154.jpg?v=1782927516","url":"https:\/\/trilliumrareprints.com\/products\/curtis1154","provider":"Trillium Rare Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
